The small Swiss town of Meiringen is to host a crime fiction festival (mainly because of its proximity to the Reichenbach Falls, where Sherlock Holmes and Morality took a dangerous tumble). But when the unsparing Gustav Slavorigin, a prize-winning novelist who has enthusiastically courted controversy, is found murdered, an arrow in his chest, it’s up to Evadne Mount to start collating clues.
As well as the pleasurable parody of the detective story, And Then There Was No One is distinctly post-modern (as one might expect from Gilbert Adair), adding a literary game of hide-and-seek between author and characters that is both ingenious and fun. The real achievement, though, is adding a core of intelligence to a narrative that (on the surface) seems lightweight and soufflé-like; no easy task, and it’s one that Adair pulls off with some skill. --Barry Forshaw
